from outside of Pittsburgh, PA

810- WGY, Schenectady
820- varies between WBAP, Dallas and CHAM, Hamilton, Ontario
830- WCCO, Twin Cities - very strong considering the distance
840- WHAS, Louisville
850- very rarely a taste of WKNR, Cleveland (interestingly, never ever WKGE, Johnstown, PA.
Their stick is less than 60 miles from my house as the crow files, but they are wedged into
a very tight directional pattern)
860- WAMO-AM, local. Very strong since they got nighttime power boost several years ago.
870- WWL, New Orleans (used to get much better before the WAMO power boost)
880- WCBS, New York
890- WLS, Chicago
900- CHML, Hamilton, Ontario
910- nothing (WAVL, Apollo, PA running only 7 watts at that time)
920- WMMN, Fairmont, WV (occasional and weak- at one time used to come in much stronger)
930- nothing
940- CINW, Montreal, mixed with small bits of WFGI, Charleroi 5 watt night signal)
950- slop, vary rarely a bit from WWJ, Detroit
960- WFIR, Roanoke, VA (very strong)
970- WBGG, local
980- nothing I can ID, WBGG splatter
990- CBW, Winnipeg (surprisingly strong)
1000- WMVP, Chicago (very strong
1010- HD buzz from KDKA (used to get mix of WINS and CFRB)
1020- KDKA, local (original signal from Frank Conrad's garage probably had better
audio quality than their post-IBOC analog signal)
1030- WBZ, buried in KD buzz
1040- WHO, Des Moines
1050- generally slop, a little CHUM on occasion
1060- KYW, Philadelphia (strong)
1070- occasional CHOK, Sarnia, Ontario amidst the slop
